There were 310 homeless deaths in 2022 in the Seattle area. A 65% increase over the previous year. Fentanyl-related overdoses accounted for more than half of those deaths. Thirty-five people died from natural causes, ten people died from hypothermia or exposure, and seven died from suicide.

The average age of death was 48.

Those are all tragically horrible numbers. It’s hard to get your head around them, to even know how to feel. 

In this episode we want to share about one person who lived chronically homeless in Seattle. Just one of the 310 that passed away in 2022.
